“Does your child have difficulty following her teacher’s complicated explanations? Seeing how the teacher presents a lesson, while watching how your child responds, is more illuminating than just reviewing your child’s homework or looking at her exam grades. This time at home together can help you better understand how she learns.”

Are parents really doing this? God I’m jealous. Watching their kids do their schoolwork? My husband and I both work (I am part time). And when I am home on a school day I have laundry, cooking and bill paying or I sit in front of the tv and space out after working three 10 hr shifts at the hospital (I’m an NP). I am all for Covids silver linings -but school has not been one of them for us. Unless you count this: it’s the first time in 15 years (my oldest adhd’er is 20) the school district has been so kind and understanding. I mean I have one who is failing right now but they couldn’t be nicer about it, they aren’t making me feel like it’s only my child who has to change , they are trying to at least take some ownership this time around 😉
